Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) has returned to the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale at PNC Park against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander George Kirby, serving as the designated hitter and batting second. Reynolds missed Saturday's win with a sore lower back, but he's back in there just a day later. Bryan De La Cruz is in left field again and is batting sixth for the Bucs. It's a tough matchup, but Reynolds is a must-start for fantasy managers when he's active. In just two career at-bats against Kirby, he does have a hit and two RBI. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star has been in a little funk at the plate of late, but overall this month, he's hitting .273 (15-for-55) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI and six runs scored in 13 contests. Get him back into your lineups for the series finale.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is getting the day off on Saturday in Game 2 of the series against the Seattle Mariners at PNC Park. Bryan De La Cruz will take his spot in left field and will bat fifth against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Reynolds appears to just be getting a normal day off after going hitless in eight at-bats with five strikeouts in his last two games. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star is a must-start when he's in the lineup, though, and has hit .273 (15-for-55) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI and six runs scored in 13 games so far in August. De La Cruz has hit only .167 against Castillo in his career, but only in a sample size of six at-bats. The 27-year-old has some nice power, but he has yet to go deep in 12 games with the Pirates and has gone 10-for-50 (.200) with a walk and 19 strikeouts since being acquired in a trade from the Miami Marlins.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and his 19th home run of the season on Saturday, a two-run blast in the sixth inning that broke a 1-1 tie, with the Pirates eventually winning 4-2 over the Diamondbacks. After a relatively slow start to the season. the 29-year-old has turned it on since June 1, slashing .332/.396/.582 with nine doubles, two triples, and 12 home runs in 49 games. The switch-hitter now owns a .287-19-65-51-6 line with a .362 wOBA and 134 wRC+ on the season and should continue to be a solid contributor for fantasy.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has been activated from the bereavement list on Monday. The 29-year-old sat out the weekend series which might've been a good time considering he has been dealing with a back issue. He'll make his return to the lineup on Monday which sends outfielder Jack Suwinski back to the minors. Reynolds will bat second and start in left field versus right-hander Jake Bloss. Fantasy managers who have Reynolds rostered can get him back in their lineups ahead of first pitch.
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds on the bereavement list on Thursday. They plan to add another player to the roster in a corresponding move before Friday's series opener in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. RotoBaller offers up its condolences to Reynolds and his family, but this move does buy him a few more days to rest up after he was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals due to back spasms. Now that the 29-year-old All-Star is on the bereavement list, he could miss the entire series in Arizona. When healthy, the former second-round pick by the San Francisco Giants in 2016 out of Vanderbilt has been a must-start in fantasy lineups in his sixth year in the league, hitting .288/.353/.485 with an .839 OPS, 18 home runs, 61 RBI and five stolen bases in 101 games.
Bryan Reynolds Is Fine, Will Travel With Team To Arizona
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back), who was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the visiting division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, is fine. Reynolds was moving around like he normally would by the end of Wednesday's game. His back "locked up on him" while he was getting out of his car on Wednesday morning and said there was simply not enough time to get warmed up because of the fact it was an afternoon game. Reynolds will travel with the team to Arizona for the start of a series on Friday against the Diamondbacks, but that doesn't mean the All-Star will be back in the starting lineup. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. When he returns to the Bucs' lineup, Reynolds needs to be returned to all fantasy lineups.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the visiting division-rival St. Louis Cardinals due to back spasms. Reynolds is currently being examined and treated by the team's medical staff and he's considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers obviously need to remove him from their starting lineups for Wednesday's slate. Joshua Palacios will get the start in left field in his place and will bat sixth in the order against Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore. This is the first time all year that the 29-year-old Reynolds will miss a game. The good news is the left-handed-hitting All-Star will have a scheduled day off on Thursday before Pittsburgh starts a weekend series in Arizona against the Diamondbacks, so perhaps Reynolds back will be feeling better by then.
